Fantastic voyage? Coolio replaces DMX in kickboxing match
In September, we told you about troubled rapper DMX's plans to fight on a December card in Alabama. He has pulled out of the fight with Eric Martinez and is being replaced by everyone's favorite late 90s rapper, Coolio.
Don't sleep on Coolio's chances in the fight. Remember, he has spent most of his life living in a gangster's paradise. Does anything else in his past give you a clue about his chances as a fighter?
-- He has a penchant for getting involved in celebrity sporting events, including celebrity hoops and stock car racing. Does that make him an athlete? Hardly. But it shows that he is willing to try.
-- He won "Celebrity Bootcamp," a reality show that had the goal of helping celebrities hold on to the spotlight for as long as they can lose weight.
-- Earlier this year, Coolio attempted a stage dive during a performance in England. The crowd parted, and Coolio was robbed and injured. Ouch. If an experience like that doesn't make you tough, what will?
Clearly, the man has some training to do. He's 46 years old and kickboxing isn't exactly a skill that people pick up quickly. But if you're in Alabama on Dec. 19 and you have some cash to spend, check it out by buying tickets here. Then, please email us to let us know about your "Fantastic Voyage" with Coolio.
Thanks to Fight! Magazine for the heads up.
